Man accused of hitting woman with car after accelerating over curb

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- A man was arrested Sunday on a charge he struck a woman with his car in front of her house Saturday night.

At approximately 8:10 p.m. on Saturday, residents at a house in the 2700 block of 25th Street asked Bartholomew Moss, 26, to move his car as he sat in front of their house, Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit commander Loyd Baker said.

Baker said Moss and a resident of the house have had previous problems.

When the resident's mother, 45, came out of the house, Moss drove off, turned around and then accelerated his car over the curb, striking the woman and causing an injury to her leg, Baker said. Moss then fled.

Tuscaloosa police took Moss into custody Sunday on a warrant for second-degree assault and transported him to the Tuscaloosa County Jail.
